They'd always been told that the year would speed past them, but they only believed it as they found the end of May and their NEWT exams approaching.
After a particularly hard night of studying, Remus had his first fight with Sirius since they'd gotten together. They'd agreed that maybe they should take a small break. Remus didn't say anything when he found a big black dog curled up in his bed two nights later. The 'break' was forgotten and never mentioned again.
The final day of school came up soon after. As they stood for a graduation photo of the four, Remus felt Sirius' hand drift down to his bum, the same smile on his face as he looked at the camera, but if you looked at picture you'd see the naughty twinkle in his eyes. By now, Remus felt like, and probably was, the biggest in their year, but Sirius didn't seem to mind.
Around February, when he'd started attracting more gossip than he'd ever thought he'd be a part of, he'd tried taking up Quidditch and flying. He'd been praised by Sirius when he lost a pound or two, but when he gave up, just not having James or Sirius' passion for it, and gained it back, Sirius hadn't even mentioned it.
Sirius lay back against the deck chair lazily. A large chunk and probably most of, his uncle's money had gone into buying this house.
A large three bedroom house, the two were guest rooms for now. He smiled as he shifted. Barely six months into their relationship and Sirius already knew how he felt about Remus. Someday they could extend their family to fill the rooms, but whether it was through potions or an agency, Sirius wasn't looking into either for the moment.
Soft footsteps on the bricks and he lowered his sunglasses, giving a wolf whistle. Remus blushed.
"If this wasn't private property, I'd have to be more careful." Sirius said as his boyfriend approached. Remus, in all his vast fleshy glory, was dressed in what first appeared to be a red postage stamp. He pulled a towel over himself
"Why? Because I might trample someone?" Sirius scowled.
"Don't be stupid. Come here." He pulled Remus forward, throwing the towel to ground. He pulled him down on top of him and kissed him passionately.
The broke apart a moment later, both panting to catch their breath again. Sirius stared into his eyes lovingly.
"It's a good thing we're on private property," he repeated. "Because someone might steal from right under my nose." Remus stared back. It was clear Sirius really believed those words. He kissed him again.
Remus Lupin wasn't small anymore nor would he ever be. But Sirius didn't care and if he thought of it, neither did he. Remus Lupin was not small anymore. He was happy.
Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle. -Amy Bloom
